Exegesis
The phrase heis ek tōn dōdeka {εἷς ἐκ τῶν δώδεκα | heîs ek tōn dṓdeka} ‘one of the twelve’ is partitive, marking Thomas as a member of the apostolic circle rather than simply naming a quantity.
In context — John 20:24
But Thomas, one of the twelve, called the Twin , was not with them when Jesus came.
