Talmud for Berakhot 43:4
דתניא (דברים ד, ט) והודעתם לבניך ולבני בניך וכתיב בתריה יום אשר עמדת לפני ה' אלהיך בחורב מה להלן באימה וביראה וברתת ובזיע אף כאן באימה וביראה וברתת ובזיע
for there is a teaching: "Thou shalt make them known unto thy children and thy children's children" (Deut. iv. 9) and it continues, "The day that thou stoodest before the Lord thy God in Horeb" (Deut. iv. 10) — as [the Israelites stood at Horeb] with dread and fear aod trembling and shaking, so here [when teaching Torah] must it be with dread and fear and trembling and shaking.
Jerusalem Talmud Berakhot
The Mishnah deals with a place where there is no water162It will be confirmed in the next Halakhah that even Rebbi Yehudah agrees that after an emission one may not recite unless he washed first. So this statement is agreed to by everybody in the Yerushalmi. and follows Rebbi Meïr, as it is stated (Tosephta Berakhot 2:13): “He who had qeri but no water to immerse himself reads the Shema‘ but not so that he himself can hear it, but he does not recite any benediction before or after; these are the words of Rebbi Meïr. But the Sages say, he reads so that he himself can hear it and recites benedictions before and after.163The Babli (Berakhot 22a) quotes a parallel but different baraita in which the position of “the Sages” is in the name of R. Yehudah.”
