Passage Content
Every day Antoninus would minister to Rebbi;
he would feed him and give him to drink.
When Rebbi wanted to ascend to his bed,
Antoninus would bend down in front of the bed, and say:
he would feed him and give him to drink.
When Rebbi wanted to ascend to his bed,
Antoninus would bend down in front of the bed, and say:
| Antoninus: | Ascend upon me to your bed. |
| Rebbi: | It is not proper conduct
to treat the king with this much disrespect. |
| Antoninus: | Oh, that I were set as a mattress
under you in the World to Come! |
