Komentarz do Bawa meci’a 2:11

אֲבֵדָתוֹ וַאֲבֵדַת אָבִיו, אֲבֵדָתוֹ קוֹדֶמֶת. אֲבֵדָתוֹ וַאֲבֵדַת רַבּוֹ, שֶׁלּוֹ קוֹדֶמֶת. אֲבֵדַת אָבִיו וַאֲבֵדַת רַבּוֹ, שֶׁל רַבּוֹ קוֹדֶמֶת, שֶׁאָבִיו הֱבִיאוֹ לָעוֹלָם הַזֶּה, וְרַבּוֹ שֶׁלִּמְּדוֹ חָכְמָה מְבִיאוֹ לְחַיֵּי הָעוֹלָם הַבָּא. וְאִם אָבִיו חָכָם, שֶׁל אָבִיו קוֹדֶמֶת. הָיָה אָבִיו וְרַבּוֹ נוֹשְׂאִין מַשְּׂאוֹי, מֵנִיחַ אֶת שֶׁל רַבּוֹ. וְאַחַר כָּךְ מֵנִיחַ אֶת שֶׁל אָבִיו. הָיָה אָבִיו וְרַבּוֹ בְּבֵית הַשֶּׁבִי, פּוֹדֶה אֶת רַבּוֹ, וְאַחַר כָּךְ פּוֹדֶה אֶת אָבִיו. וְאִם הָיָה אָבִיו חָכָם, פּוֹדֶה אֶת אָבִיו, וְאַחַר כָּךְ פּוֹדֶה אֶת רַבּוֹ:

Jego aveidah lub aveidah jego ojca — jego utracony przedmiot ma pierwszeństwo [jest napisane (Powtórzonego Prawa 15: 4): „Ale nie będzie w tobie biedaka” — Uważaj, abyś nie był biednym człowiekiem. ”] Jego aveidah i aveidah jego nauczyciela —jego aveidah ma pierwszeństwo. Aveidah jego ojca i aveidah jego nauczyciela—jego nauczyciel ma pierwszeństwo [(To, jeśli jest jego głównym nauczycielem, od którego nauczył się większej części swojej mądrości. Podobnie, gdziekolwiek „nauczyciel” jest wymieniony w naszej Misznie jako mający pierwszeństwo przed „ojcem”, jest to jego główny nauczyciel to znaczy.)], ponieważ jego ojciec przywiódł go na ten świat, ale jego nauczyciel, który nauczył go mądrości, ożywi go w świecie, który ma nadejść. A jeśli jego ojciec był mędrcem, jego ojciec ma pierwszeństwo. Jeśli jego ojciec i jego nauczyciel nieśli ciężary, najpierw odkłada ciężar swojego nauczyciela, a potem ojca. Jeśli jego ojciec i jego nauczyciel zostali pojmani, najpierw wykupuje swojego nauczyciela, a potem ojca. A jeśli jego ojciec był mędrcem, wykupuje swojego ojca, a potem tego nauczyciela.

Bartenura on Mishnah Bava Metzia

His lost item comes first. Since the verse says (Deuteronomy 15:4) "There will be no destitute amongst you", [this indicates] you should be cautious that you don't become destitute.

English Explanation of Mishnah Bava Metzia

If a man found his own lost property and his father’s, his own takes priority. If his own and that of his teacher, his own takes priority.
If he found his father’s and his teacher’s, his teacher’s takes priority for his father brought him into this world, but his teacher who taught him wisdom brings him into the world to come. If his father was a Sage, his father’s takes priority.
If his father and teacher each were carrying a load, he must first relieve his teacher and afterward relieve his father.
If his father and teacher were each taken captive, he must first ransom his teacher and afterward his father. But if his father was a Sage, he must first ransom his father and afterward his teacher.

In the beginning of this mishnah we learn that one’s own financial loss takes priority even over that of a father or a teacher (of Torah). The Torah expects people to help others but it also understands that people have a natural desire to help themselves.
The remainder of the mishnah deals with conflicts between helping his father and helping his teacher. In all of them we learn that his teacher (one who teaches him Torah) takes priority. Through this mishnah we can see how much the Rabbis valued learning and Torah study. His father brings him into this world and for that the Torah commands that he respect and fear his father. However, the teacher brings him into the world to come, and this is a greater responsibility even then being a father. Therefore the teacher receives even more respect than the father. However, if his father is a Sage, meaning learned in Torah, he deserves greater respect from his son than does another teacher/Sage, and he therefore takes priority.

Bartenura on Mishnah Bava Metzia

His Rabbi's comes first. This is referring to his main Rabbi, who he learnt most of his wisdom from. So too all the times in the Mishnah it mentions "His Rabbi" coming before his father, this is only referring to his main Rabbi.
