Literal (Young’s Literal Translation)

And I saw, and lo, a Lamb having stood upon the mount Sion, and with him an hundred forty-four thousands, having the name of his Father written upon their foreheads;

Translation Note

The SBL text is τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ καὶ τὸ ὄνομα τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ, “his name and the name of his Father.” The Textus Receptus does not include τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ καί. The King James reads “having his Father’s name written in their foreheads.”

The New World Translation (Jehovah’s Witnesses’ Bible) follows the longer Greek: “his name and the name of his Father.” Two names are written. The verse does not say the Lamb’s name is absent.

King James Version. And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Sion, and with him an hundred forty and four thousand, having his Father’s name written in their foreheads.

New World Translation (Jehovah’s Witnesses’ Bible), this verse. “Then I saw, and look! the Lamb standing on Mount Zion, and with him 144,000 who have his name and the name of his Father written on their foreheads.” Watchtower Online Library
