The KJV translates (unfortunately) 'ἐντὸς ὑμῶν' as 'within you' instead of 'among you' in Luke 17:21. Jesus was addressing the Pharisees—would He say the Kingdom of God was 'within' them? This suggests the kingdom was present 'among' them. Context is key.
So we agree KJ made another English Translation to obfuscate the truth. It's why I use Puritans Translation (pardon me for not stating) and yes context is important:
16 And fell down on his face at his feet, and gave him thanks: and he was a Samaritan.
17 And Jesus answered, and said, Are there not ten cleansed? but where are the nine?
18 There is none found that returned to give God praise, save this stranger.
19 And he said unto him, Arise, go thy way, thy faith hath saved thee.
20 ¶ [h]And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them, and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with [i]observation.
21 Neither shall men say, Lo here, or lo there: for behold, the kingdom of God is [j]within you. ---Luke 17- 21 1599 Geneva Translation
Take a look at the note [j] right next to "within you" in the Geneva translation:
That footnote explains the phrase "within you" as meaning "among you" or "in the midst of you." It suggests that the kingdom of God was present among the Pharisees in the person of Jesus, rather than being located within them individually.
