Resh Lakish died and Yochanan was pained over losing him.
| A Rabbi: | Who will go to calm Rabbi Yochanan’s
mind and comfort him over his loss? |
| Council: | Let Ben Pedas go, his statements are sharp,
i.e. he is clever and will be able to serve as a substitute for Resh Lakish. |
| Ben Pedas went and sat before Rabbi Yochanan. | |
| Yochanan: | In this case, I think it is like this. |
| Ben Pedas: | You are right. And there is a ruling
that naturally supports your opinion. |
| Yochanan: | In this case, I think it is like that. |
| Ben Pedas: | You are right again. And there is a ruling
that naturally supports your opinion. |
