Italian to English Art/Literary Religion

I'm searching for a good way of putting this term, used often in the book I'm translating (on Ethics and Business, from a Catholic entrepreneur's perspective).

Here's one example (all the other examples have this same sense, and object: the person, who allows himself or herself to be questioned/interrogated/put into question by the Christian message/Gospel/Christ's teachings):

"La coincidenza tra l'inizio della missione pubblica di Gesù e l'inizio del cammino quaresimale denota un rapporto di strettissima contiguità tra ciò che concerne la vita del Maestro e la vita di chiunque si lasci mettere in discussione dalle parole e dall'esempio di Colui che si è presentato come la Via, la Verità, la Vita."

my attempt:

"The concurrence of the beginning of both the public mission of Jesus and the Lenten journey indicates there is close relationship between the Master's life and the life of anyone who allows themself to be questioned by the words and the example of He who presented himself as the Way, the Truth, the Life."

I use "to be questioned", but would like something that flows a little better, or is a bit more striking, more originally English, rather than something that in my humble opinion calls to mind being sat behind a desk in a dimly lit room of the police headquarters for interrogation.

Thanks!
