The text begins with Jesus instructing his disciples on the creation of the world. They are asking him questions, and he explains the order of events to them. He relates in what order the angles were created, beginning with the first angel Saklataboth. The second angel created was Michael, the third Gabriel and the fourth Raphael.
After the creation of Adam, Jesus claims that the archangel Saklataboth refused to honour God's creation, Adam. As a result, God chose Michael to replace Saklataboth as the new head of the archangels.
