And brings him to the World-to-Come: As he honors him by speaking good and consoling words to him, and he imposes the work upon him with a soft expression. He shows him the imminent need, that they are only able to be sustained by this strain. And the text in the Yerushalmi Gemara (Jerusalem Talmud Kiddushin 1:7:10) has a story about both of them: The story of the one who feeds his father pheasant is [that] one day, his father said to him, "From where do you get all these?" He said to him, "Old man, what do you care, grind and eat" - meaning, chew and eat! He showed him that it was difficult for him. And also a story about the one who grinds with a millstone [is that] he had an old father and the king sent a requisition for his father for the king's work. His son said to him, "Father, grind; and I will go in your place to the king's work which has no limit."

Avimi had five ordained sons during his father’s lifetime: But even so, when Rabbi Abbahu called at the gate, Avimi would run and open [it] for him and he would not let one of his sons go [do it].

Yes, yes: I will open [it], I will open [it].

It aided him: While he was still bent before him; such that he understood one of the psalms in the book of Psalms that he had not understood [how] to expound beforehand. And some explain that he only expounded this one verse (Psalm 79:1): "A Song of Asaph, God, the nations invaded your inheritance" - It should have stated, "A Lament of Asaph." And he expounded thus - that Asaph said a song that the Holy One, blessed be He, consumed His anger on wood and stone that was in His house; and because of this, exonerated the survivors in Israel. For were it not for this, Israel (lit. the enemies of Israel) would not have left any survivors. And this is what it says, (Lamentations 4:11) "The Lord has spent His fury, He has poured out His fierce anger, and He has kindled a fire in Zion."

[Regarding one] such as I: Since I am beloved to my father and precious to my mother - so they do this from me - what should I do?

Since he is a Torah scholar he will be disheartened: If you accept service from him.

Fortunate is one who never saw them: As it is impossible to fulfill [the stipulations of] their honor as fully required. So he is punished over them.

His foster mother: Nanny.

**You are determined to leave:**He reasoned that he intended to go back to his place, to Babylonia.

Return you in peace: To your place.

He said to him: Rav Asi [said] to Rabbi Elazar, "Perhaps, God forbid, Rabbi Yochanan is angry with me."

One who goes to a place on the command of his father: If he knows about the people of the place, that they give honor to his father - to accept words that he would say in his name - he should not attach the honor to himself. And he should attach the honor to his father, even if he knows that they would honor him the same as his father.

Send me on Father’s behalf: As he needs me. But if the word of his father is not listened to like his own word in a place, he should not attach [it] to his father. For then it is [only] a disgrace.

May I be an atonement for his resting: All the bad which is supposed to come upon his soul should come upon me.

From then onward: He already received what he [needed to] receive. For the judgment of the wicked among Israel in Geihinnom is only twelve months.

A Sage changes the name of his father, etc.: A Sage, who expounds a teaching in public and whispers [it] to the disseminator who orates [it], changes the name of his father and the name of his teacher. If he is coming to say a matter of law that his father or his teacher said, he whispers to the disseminator, "This is what my father, my teacher said; this is what my master, my teacher said."

But the disseminator: The one who orates it to the public does not change [the name], but rather calls him by his name and says, "This is what x said."

Whose father: Does the disseminator not change.

If we say the father of the disseminator: If the Sage whispers a matter of law in the name of the father of the disseminator to orate [it] to the public in the name of the one that said it, he would not change [it]; to say, "This is what my father, my teacher said." Rather he would call him by his name.

Is that to say the disseminator is not obligated: [Is] he [not obligated] to honor his father.

When he would teach at his regular lecture: And whisper a matter of law to the disseminator in the name of Rav Ashi, his father - he would say to the disseminator, "This is what my father, my teacher said."

And his disseminator: When he orates [it] to the public in the name of the one that said it, he says, "This is what Rav Ashi said." And he does not say, "This is what the father and the master of the Sage said.'

One may not stand in his place: In the place designated for his father to stand there, in the council of elders with his colleagues, for counsel.

And he may not choose sides (lit., determine it): If his father and another Sage were disagreeing about a matter of law, he may not say, "The words of x appear [correct]."
