Bechorot 20: Redeemed Then Corrected

Years after paying a fortune to free a young prodigy from prison in Rome, Rabbi Yehoshua doesn't hesitate to correct his former student, Rabbi Yishmael, when he gets a point of halacha wrong. Bekhorot 20 shows that the right to correct someone is earned by what you've invested in them. Through a Messianic Jewish lens, we look at ransom, discipline, and Yeshua's tender correction of Peter on the shore. If you've ever struggled to receive or give a hard word, this episode is for you.
