Many of the parables are unique to the Gospels of Matthew and Luke.

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.
