This is a YouTube video titled "Steps of Paul Tour, Philippi, Greece" (metadata date: 2020-04-30) containing an English, single-speaker guided-tour monologue recorded at the ancient theater in Philippi. The speaker describes locations and events associated with the Apostle Paul (his imprisonment, the exorcism of a fortune-teller, Lydia's conversion and likely baptism site), situates these on the "Steps of Paul" P33 Adventures tour, and invites viewers to join the February 2021 trip. The tone is informational and promotional.

Hey, we've just come over the mountains from Neapolis, Greece, Kavala now in modern times, and followed basically the footsteps of Paul into Philippi. This is the ancient city of Philippi. This is the theater of King Philip in Philippi. And this theater was here when Paul was here. Paul was in this town. This is where the first converts to Europe— to Christianity in Europe occurred. Paul was imprisoned here. He cast a demon out of a fortune teller, and it cost the people of this city a lot of money because they were making a fortune off this fortune teller. What's the name of this theater? Go figure. And Paul cast that demon out, and the girl could no longer tell fortunes, and as a result, they lost their source of revenue. Paul converted Lydia here to Christianity. Lydia was a purveyor of fine purple dyes and fabrics, and she was a very successful person in ancient Philippi. In fact, just over here, about less than a kilometer from where we're standing right now, is the river where they believe Lydia was baptized. All of that's right here. All of that is part of the Steps of Paul tour that's going on through P33 Adventures in Philippi. February of 2021. You can join us. You can be a part of it. You can stand right here in this theater where I am today with me and with others by joining us on our trip at P33 Adventures. God bless you.
