A great number of the apostles (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

heap

'a great number' is the definition.
(large number of things)

'of the apostles' is the wordplay.
'of' indicates a hidden word.
'HEAP' is hidden in the letters of 'the apostles'.

(Other definitions for heap that I've seen before include "Mound, pile" , "Mound - dilapidated vehicle" , "good deal" , "car on its last legs" , "Loose pile" .)
