⁹ Yet Michael the archangel, when he was disputing with the Devil in a debate about Moses’ body, did not dare bring an abusive condemnation against him but said, “The Lord rebuke you!” -hcsb

Notes taken from the Apologetics Study Bible:-

Jude 1:9 alluded to traditions found in pseudepigraphal works (The assumption of Moses and/or the testament of Moses) in recounting the dispute over the burial of Moses. The notes also say that citing a quotation from another source does not indicate that the entire work is inspired even if the saying drawn upon is true.

I came upon this verse when I was listening to a christian radio program when someone asked if Michael the archangel is Jesus.  In this verse, Michael the archangel is calling upon Jesus/God and shows that Michael is not Jesus.
