Mesorat%20hashas for Berakhot 17:7

הכי קאמרי ליה. רבנן פליגי עילווך ויחיד ורבים הלכה כרבים או דלמא רבנן כוותך סבירא להו והאי דקאמרי עד חצות כדי להרחיק אדם מן העבירה אמר להו רבנן כוותי סבירא להו וחייבין אתם והאי דקאמרי עד חצות כדי להרחיק אדם מן העבירה:

But they spoke to him thus : The Rabbis differ from thee, and where an individual differs from the many, the Halakah is in accord with the many. Or perhaps, the Rabbis agree with thee, and the reason that they declare [that the evening Shema' may be read] "Until midnight" is in order to keep a man far from transgression ? He answered them. The Rabbis hold the same view as myself, and you are under the obligation [to read the Shema']; and the reason they say "Until midnight" is to keep a man far from transgression.
