Hebrews 10:28 Context
26For if we sinne wilfully after that we haue receiued the knowledge of the trueth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sinnes, 27But a certaine fearefull looking for of iudgement, and fiery indignation, which shall deuoure the aduersaries. 28Hee that despised Moses Lawe, died without mercy, vnder two or three witnesses. 29Of how much sorer punishment suppose ye, shall hee be thought worthy, who hath troden vnder foote þe Sonne of God, and hath counted the blood of the couenant wherwith he was sanctified, an vnholy thing, and hath done despite vnto the spirit of grace? 30For we know him that hath said, Uengeance belongeth vnto me, I wil recompence, saith the Lord: and again, The Lord shall iudge his people.

People's Bible Notes for Hebrews 10:28
Heb 10:28 He that despised Moses' law. He who wilfully rebelled against the law of Moses had no remission. Died without mercy under two or three witnesses. When proved guilty by two or three witnesses his fate was death. See Nu 15:30-36 De 13:6-10. There was mercy for the ignorant, the mistaken, those "overtaken" (Ga 6:1), but not for the deliberate despiser.
