The gospels - Matthew, Mark, Luke, John - are the books that tell about the life of Jesus Christ. They are found at the beginning of the New Testament.
The parables are stories told by Jesus to people that followed him as he walked around the area of Galilee.
The parables are stories about: the kingdom of God, salvation, love and forgiveness, prayer etc. They can be read in the Gospels.
The Gospels refer to the first four books of the New Testament (Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John) that narrate the life, teachings, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Parables are stories used by Jesus in the Gospels to convey spiritual truths or lessons in a simple and relatable way, using common experiences of daily life to illustrate deeper spiritual principles. Jesus often used parables to challenge listeners to reflect on their beliefs and behavior, inviting them to deeper understanding and personal transformation.
All four of the gospels had his parables, but I think that the answer would be the book of Luke.
The stories in the Gospels are called parables because they are allegories of things we can not comprehend.
There are 51 parables found in the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John in the New testament.
It is unlikely that any of the parables were real. In fact, it is likely that most, if not all, of the parables were never really spoken by Jesus. Most of the parables attributed to Jesus are in the Gospels of Matthew and Luke. Scholars say that these parables were copied by the authors of these two gospels from the hypothetical 'Q' document. The Q document, in turn, was built up in four layers over a period of several years. It seems likely that, at best, only the parables of the first layer could really have been spoken by Jesus, with the later parables being pious additions.

The stories of Jesus' apostles are found throughout the New Testament, most notably in Acts. The apostle Paul also chronicled stories of Christ's disciples in the book of Romans and his letters to various churches, such as the Ephesians, Phillipians, etc...
Many of the parables are unique to the Gospels of Matthew and Luke. Schaolars say that the authors of these two gospels sourced the parables from a hypothetical sayings document now known as the 'Q' document. The 'Q' document only provided the sayings that could be attributed to Jesus, but not the place or context in which Jesus would have spoken those sayings, so each of the two evangelists placed them in different contexts that appeared to be appropriate. Some of the sayings are clearly based on the Old Testament.

The Four Gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John) all give different accounts of Jesus's life. They also include his teachings, called parables, and they (more or less) describe his miracles. Each gospel is different on what aspects of Jesus's life they talk about and how in depth they go and on what parts.
