Revelation 13:16
KJV
And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:
NIV
It also forced all people, great and small, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hands or on their foreheads,
Modern versions’ reading ‘on’ limits the specificity, making it seem as though the mark is merely a surface symbol. The KJV’s “in” might suggest an outward mark, but also includes the possibility of a bio-technological implant. See also: Rev 14:9, 15:2
