Take a look at the note [j] right next to "within you" in the Geneva translation (which you favor):
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.
13 And they lifted up their voices and said, Jesus, Master, have mercy on us.
14 And when he saw them, he said unto them, Go, show yourselves unto the Priests. And it came to pass, that as they went, they were cleansed.
15 Then one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, and with a loud voice praised God,
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.
Not if thy "faith" hath saved you. For it is not amongst you but rather "within" you.
The Eternal Battle .... GOOD vs EVIL
Neither shall men say, Lo here, or lo there: for behold, the kingdom of God is within you. --- Luke 17
"..among you."

Real stretch here.
1 among 10 had faith . Faith was amongst the gathering. But only the ONE with FAITH WITHIN was saved. Narrow is the path that leads to .....
But yes stretching your mind to see what the system wants to hide from you is hard.
King James so feared TRUTH he spent a small fortune to have another translation done. After a 1000 plus years of a language the peasants didn't know.
