Commentary for Menachot 143:6

ודוחה את השבת תלמוד לאמר תקריב תקריב כל שהוא תקריב מכל מקום תקריב ואפילו בשבת תקריב ואפילו בטומאה:

But was not Rabbi a disciple of R. Simeon? Surely it has been taught: Rabbi said, When we were studying Torah at R. Simeon's [Academy] in Tekoa we used to carry up to him [on the Sabbath] oil and a towel from the courtyard to the roof, and from the roof to an enclosure, and from one enclosure to another enclosure, until we came to the fountain where we bathed! - He [Rabbi] concurs with the other teaching of R. Simeon. For it was taught: R. Simeon said, Come and see how precious is a precept in its proper time! For the burning of the fat and limbs is valid the whole night, yet they did not wait until nightfall. <br>
