One of Christ's disciples (7)
I believe the answer is:
apostle
'one of christ's disciples' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for apostle that I've seen before include "Good man" , "Follower of Christ" , "James, perhaps" , "who can handle a spoon?" , "Originally, one sent to preach the gospel" .)
