A:Mark's Gospel was the first New Testament gospel to be written. If we look closely at the nativity accounts in Matthew and Luke we find differences that Raymond E. Brown (An Introduction to the New Testament) says are "massively different" and virtually irreconcilable. Clearly, they were literary creations of the two evangelists concerned, meaning tat the nativity stories did not even exist at the time Mark was written. The author of John's Gospel based his entire gospel loosely on Luke, so was aware of the birth story in Luke but presumably chose not to believe it to be true, or at least not relevant to his own gospel. Unlike the synoptic gospels, John describes Jesus as divine and pre-existing, perhaps making a birth story seem anomalous in that context.
In the case of John's Gospel, which was loosely based on Luke's Gospel, it appears that the author omitted Luke's birth story simply because he did not accept it to be factual.

AnswerThe earliest of the New Testament gospels, now known as Mark's Gospel, did not include an account of the birth of Jesus. THese accounts were added by the authors of Matthew and Luke.The author of John knew Luke's account of the birth of Jesus, but did not include it in his gospel. In fact, he suggests that he did not even believe that Jesus was born in Bethlehem.
