The apostles were a bit disconcerted by the open manner of Jesus' assent to many of the Greek's propositions, but Jesus afterward privately said to them:  

*"My children marvel not that I was tolerant of the Greek's philosophy. True and genuine inward certainty does not in the least fear outward analysis, nor does truth resent honest criticism. You should never forget that intolerance is the mask covering up the entertainment of secret doubts as to the trueness of one's belief.

Courage is the confidence of thoroughgoing honesty about those things that one professes to believe. Sincere men are unafraid of the critical examination of their true convictions and noble ideals."
