Apocrypha · Chapter 12 of 18
Life of Adam and Eve
And Satan said: When Adam was made, Michael ordered us to worship him as the image of God.
2And I said: I will not worship someone inferior to me. I was made before him.
3He should worship me, not I him.
4And the angels who were under me also refused to worship.
5And God became angry with us and expelled us from heaven.
6And we were cast to the earth because of you.
7Therefore I hate you and persecute you until the end of times.
8And Satan disappeared, and Adam and Eve wept.
