@Marco,
the translation of the gospel that you quote is the result of the work of several translators and scholars, I suppose. In order for Voynich's translation to have the same level of meaning, the work of one person would never be enough, in my opinion. To hope to give a sensible text requires a teamwork: understanding images, research texts on the same topics (what you do precisely).
About the "Test of 6 words" that you have proposed, I give you the reading of one word out of six: ypolol that I read as ηπολα for επαυλα / επαυλος - sheepfold, house, dwelling, which is in the yard, in the house. And then ? I have no idea about the meaning of the image to try to argue my reading. On the other side I refuse to give up on the pretext that I have not found a relationship with the image. Besides, is it my role to explain the images?
The mistake, in my opinion, stems from the requirement that it be the same person who presents a grandiose theory, explaining the origin, the imagery and the text. This person may not have been born yet ?
