Sometimes, the New Testament refers to Apocryphal books, but such books are never quoted as if they are Scripture (for example, Jude 1415).
I think an even clearer reference would be Jude 1:9 (Douay-Rheims) "When Michael the archangel, disputing with the devil, contended about the body of Moses, he durst not bring against him the judgment of railing speech, but said: The Lord command thee."
Now, that is described in detail in an apocryphal book called the "Assumption of Moses", but both that work and St. Jude's reference to the event may come from the same oral Tradition rather than from the Apocryphal work, which even if not part of the written divinely-inspired Canon, may well be at least in part historically true.

"When Michael the archangel, disputing with the devil, contended about the body of Moses, he durst not bring against him the judgment of railing speech, but said: The Lord command thee." What 'body'??
I thought Moses was in Heaven now; just like Mary and the 'saints'?
