I have always been a suporter of the King James Bible. If you do a search on this chapter and verse of Revelation, say on a site like Bible Gateway, you will find that if you compare the King James to all the other Bibles, almost all other Bibles say the Mark will be ON the hand or ON the forehead. Looks like the King James may be calling this one correctly.
