הא אתמר עלה אמר רבי יוחנן כו' - במסכת שקלים (פ"ה ה"א) ובמסכת דמאי בירושלמי ובבראשית רבה (פ' ס') לא משני מידי אלא השיב להם דמחמרא אנפשה:

Sefaria Community Translation

It was stated with regard to it, "Rabbi Yoḥanan says, etc.": In Tractate Shekalim (Yerushalmi Shekalim 5:1), in Tractate Demai in the Yerushalmi and in Bereishit Rabbah (60), he doesn't give any [substantive] answer, but rather responds to them that he was stringent concerning himself.

ויש שיש לו ואינו רוצה - ואפ"ה איקרו קדושים שמזמן את חבירו לאכול אצלו מפני הבושת:

Sefaria Community Translation

And there is one who has but does not want: And they are nevertheless called holy. For he invites his fellow to eat with him on account of shame.

מסרהבנא - ממהר אני כדמתרגמינן וימהרו לשפוך דם (משלי א) ויסרהבון:

Sefaria Community Translation

Mesarheivna: I am rushing; as we translate (Isaiah 59:7) [Proverbs 1:16], "and they rushed to spill blood," [as] vayesarheivun.

גדולים צדיקים במיתתן יותר מבחייהם כו' - פירש בקונטרס דדריש ממה שהחיה בנגיעה בעלמא כדכתיב ויגע ויחי וקשה דא"כ מאי פריך ודילמא לקיומי ברכתא דאליהו מ"מ היה גדול במה שטרח להחיותו בחייו יותר מבמותו ונראה דנפקא ליה ממה שבחיי הצדיקים נוגעים בהם כמה רשעים ויושבים אצלם ושם לא היה לו רשות להתעכב אצלו:

Sefaria Community Translation

The righteous are greater [after] their death, more so than during their lifetimes, etc.: [Rashi] explained that he expounded [it] from that which he was revived by mere touching, as it is written, "and he touched [...] and he revived." But this is difficult: As, if so, what is the challenge, "And perhaps this was [just] to fulfill the blessing of Eliyahu?" He was nevertheless greater [after his death], in that which he had to take more effort to revive [the dead] during his lifetime than [after] his death! So it appears that he derived it from that which various wicked people touch the righteous and dwell with them in their lifetimes, whereas [in the grave,] this one was not given permission to [even] linger with him.
