Jude 1:9

But when the archangel Michael contended with the devil over the body of Moses, he [Michael] did not dare to pronounce any scornful judgment on him, but said, "May the Lord rebuke you."
[When Moses died, after seeing the Promised Land, he was buried by the Lord himself somewhere in the land of Moab, see Deut. 34:1–12. The quote "May the Lord punish you" has a parallel in Zech. 3:1–2 where the devil argued about the priest Joshua's dirty clothes. The angel Michael was considered to be the special guardian angel of the people of Israel, see Dan. 12:1. According to Jewish tradition, the dispute over Moses' body concerned the devil accusing Moses of not being righteous because of his killing of the Egyptian, see Ex. 2:12. These details are not included in the Bible and are believed to come from a Jewish text from the middle of the first century called "The Ascension of Moses," which deals with his ascension to heaven. There is only one manuscript, and these particular parts, which are believed to deal with the dispute over Moses' body, are missing.
In this case, it is irrelevant whether the story is true or not. Perhaps Jude chose to include it because his audience was familiar with the story. The point is clear – these false teachers spoke about things they knew nothing about. Luke and Paul also quote Greek poets in their writings, without thereby validating everything in these extra-biblical works, see Acts 17:28; 1 Cor. 15:33; Titus 1:12.]
