Question: Which two gospels make no mention of the Virgin Birth?
Answer: Mark and John.
Comments: The nativity story is told in only half of the four canonical gospels. It appears in Matthew (1:18-25) and Luke (1:26-2:20) while the Gospels of Mark and John make no mention of the Virgin Birth.
Mary said to the angel, "How can this be, since I am a virgin?" (Luke 1:34, NASB)
The Gospel of Mark begins with John the Baptist preaching in the wilderness while John's prologue discusses the preincarnate Christ.
Note: This stained glass representation of the Nativity is located in the Trinity Church in Saugerties, New York. It was designed by Sir Edward Burne-Jones (1833-1898) and manufactured by William Morris (1834-1896).
