The story of the birth of John the Baptist is unique to Luke. Only Luke has John the cousin of Jesus.

Luke's nativity story is unique to Luke's Gospel. Only Luke has the angel appear to Mary to tell her of that she would be the mother of Jesus. Only Luke has Joseph and Mary travel from Nazareth to Bethlehem for a census. Only Lukehas the poor shepherds come to worship the baby Jesus. And only Luke has the young family return peacefully to Jerusalem and Nazareth shortly after the birth of Jesus.

The story of the young Jesus talking to the leaders in the temple is unique to Luke in the gospel record, but closely parallels a similar story in the autobiography of Josephus.

The story of Jesus ascending bodily to heaven on the evening following his resurrection is unique among the gospels to Luke. There is however a very similar account in Acts of the Apostles, written by the same author, of Jesus ascending bodily to heaven after forty days.

The story of Jesus seeing the disciples fishing but catching nothing, and of him telling them to cast the net on the other side, is often thought to be unique to Luke, but is also in John's Gospel. John moves it to the end of the Gospel, as the last resurrection appearance.

Two stories recorded only in Luke's Gospel are the parables of the Good Samaritan and the Prodigal Son. The parable of the Good Samaritan teaches about loving one's neighbor, irrespective of social or ethnic differences. The parable of the Prodigal Son emphasizes the themes of forgiveness and redemption.

Luke contains 37 of the 51 parables ( 72.5% ) . The other 14 are in the other New Testament books.

Did angel Gabriel announce the coming of Jesus only to Mary?

------------------------ In Matthew's Gospel, the angel announced the coming of Jesus only to Joseph. Given the context, the account would not make sense if he also announced the coming of Jesus to Mary. In Luke's Gospel, the angel Gabriel announced the coming of Jesus only to Mary. Given the context, the account would not make sense if he also announced the coming of Jesus to Joseph. This difference reflects the independence of the two nativity stories from each other.

Why are some events in the gospels reported in different order in another Gospel?

The authors of the books had different opinions and so had them written some of them in a different place. Also, some gospel writers did not think that some stories did not have much importance so left them out. E.g.: the Christmas and Easter stories only have two gospels writing about them each.

Why do you have ascension in only certain Gospels?

It must be realized that there is no requirement that any particular detail about any teaching or event be recorded. The four Gospel writers wrote down what they regarded as important under the guidance of the Holy Spirit. Evidently not all the Gospel writers wished to put this event in their work.
