אַרְבָּעָה עָשָׂר שֶׁחָל לִהְיוֹת בְּשַׁבָּת, מְבַעֲרִים אֶת הַכֹּל מִלִּפְנֵי הַשַּׁבָּת, דִּבְרֵי רַבִּי מֵאִיר. וַחֲכָמִים אוֹמְרִים, בִּזְמַנָּן. רַבִּי אֶלְעָזָר בַּר צָדוֹק אוֹמֵר, תְּרוּמָה מִלִּפְנֵי הַשַּׁבָּת, וְחֻלִּין בִּזְמַנָּן:
If the fourteenth (of Nissan) falls out on Shabbath, everything is burned before Shabbath [both chullin and terumah, except for what he needs to eat on Shabbath.] These are the words of R. Meir. The sages say: (Everything is removed) in its time (i.e., on Shabbath). R. Eliezer b. Tzaddok says: Terumah (is burned) before Shabbath, [for he can feed it neither to non-priests nor to beasts, and it is not permitted to let it stay], and chullin (is removed) in its time (i.e., on Shabbath), [for he can find many eaters for it. The halachah is in accordance with R. Eliezer b. Tzaddok.]
Tosefta Pesachim
[If] the fourteenth [of Nissan] falls on the Sabbath, we remove everything [containing chametz] before the Sabbath begins, and bake matzah for it (i.e., for Passover) up until Sabbath Eve. Pure and impure Terumah: We remove them before Sabbath begins, the words of Rabbi Meir. And the Sages say, [they are removed] at their [customary] time. Pure and impure Terumah are removed on the Sabbath. Said Rabbi Elazer bar Rabbi Tzaddok, Terumah [is removed] before the Sabbath since few eat it, and chullin on the Sabbath since many eat it. Said Rabbi Elazer bar Rabbi Tzaddok, one time we were sitting before Rabban Gamaliel in the study hall in Lod [during a year when Passover fell on the Sabbath, see Pes. 49a:2] and in came Zunin, the deputy [of Rabban Gamaliel], and he said, "The time has come to remove the chametz!" My father and I want to the house of Rabban Gamaliel and we removed the chametz [even though it was the Sabbath].
