Jude 1:9

But even ¹  when Michael the archangel ²  was arguing with the devil and debating with him ³  concerning Moses’ body, he did not dare to bring a slanderous judgment, but said, “May the Lord rebuke you!”

Ex 22:28; De 34:6; 1Ch 12:17; Isa 36:13-21; Isa 37:3,4,10-20; Da 10:13,21; Da 12:1; Zec 3:2; Mr 15:29; Lu 23:39,40; 1Th 4:16; 1Pe 3:9; 2Pe 2:11; Re 12:7

¹ tn The word “even” is not in Greek; it is implied by the height of the contrast.

² sn According to Jewish intertestamental literature (such as 1 En. 20), Michael was one of seven archangels.

³ tn The sentence structure is a bit different in Greek. Literally it reads: “But Michael the archangel, when arguing with the devil and disputing.”
