Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Hebrews 10:28

_ _ Compare Hebrews 2:2, Hebrews 2:3; Hebrews 12:25.

_ _ despised — “set at naught” [Alford]: utterly and heinously violated, not merely some minor detail, but the whole law and covenant; for example, by idolatry (Deuteronomy 17:2-7). So here apostasy answers to such an utter violation of the old covenant.

_ _ diedGreek, “dies”: the normal punishment of such transgression, then still in force.

_ _ without mercy — literally, “mercies”: removal out of the pale of mitigation, or a respite of his doom.

_ _ under — on the evidence of.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Hebrews 10:19-39.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Hebrews 10:28

He that, in capital cases, despised (presumptuously transgressed) the law of Moses died without mercy — Without any delay or mitigation of his punishment.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Hebrews 10:28

(9) He that despised Moses' law died without mercy under two or three witnesses:

(9) If the breach of the law of Moses was punished by death, how much more worthy of death is it to fall away from Christ?
