1(13.1) The Devil answered: "Adam what are you saying to me? On account of you I was cast out from heaven.
2(13.2) When you were formed, I was cast out from the face of God and was sent forth from the company of the angels. When God blew into you the breath of life and your countenance and likeness were made in the image of God, Michael led you and made you worship in the sight of God. The Lord God then said: 'Behold, Adam, I have made you in our image and likeness.'
