description This article presents a Pentecostal Hermeneutics approach to resolving the synoptic problem through the genealogy of Jesus Christ in Matthew 1:1-17 and Luke 3:23-38. Employing a combination of textual analysis, comparative study, and the application of Pentecostal hermeneutics, the article unraveled the complexities and discrepancies found in these parallel passages. It explored the hypotheses put forth by various scholars, providing a nuanced understanding and trajectory of the synoptic enigma. By examining the structures, contents, and language of the genealogies, unique features and patterns were highlighted. A comparative study is conducted, shedding light on the theological and cultural implications of the differences and similarities between Matthew and Luke’s genealogies. Additionally, the article delved into the application of Pentecostal hermeneutics, demonstrating how this interpretive framework enhances the understanding of the genealogical narratives. By employing these methodological approaches, the article decoded the synoptic enigma, contributing to a deeper comprehension of the compositional techniques, theological significance, and historical context underlying these passages. This study serves as a valuable resource for academia, providing insights into a longstanding enigma in New Testament studies and helping to answer the synoptic problem.
