One of the biblical twelve (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

apostle

'one of the biblical twelve' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for apostle that I've seen before include "Principal champion" , "Champion - one of twelve" , "Augustine, say" , "Early Christian missionary" , "Originally, one sent to preach the gospel" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
