Teleportation is listed in Michio Kaku's book, "Physics of the Impossible" as being very much impossible. He goes into all the necessary controls that would have to be implemented to make it work.
All the information and make up of the object to be teleported would have to be fed into the information content of an atom which would then have to come into contact with an electron that has its counterpart in the second location. The information would then be automatically transferred to the counterpart and so the object could be reformed in that second location. Something along these lines has been done in a laboratory, but only with minute particles.
Even if macro objects could eventually be teleported any living organism would be dead on arrival. Michio's estimate is that such an event would take many centuries to accomplish and so he qualifies this kind of teleportation as a Class II impossibility.
However teleportation was taking place during gospel days - well according to ACTS in the Bible:
8:25 And they, when they had testified and preached the word of the Lord, returned to Jerusalem, and preached the gospel in many villages of the Samaritans.
8:26 And the angel of the Lord spake unto Philip, saying, Arise, and go toward the south unto the way that goeth down from Jerusalem unto Gaza, which is desert.
8:27 And he arose and went: and, behold, a man of Ethiopia, an eunuch of great authority under Candace queen of the Ethiopians, who had the charge of all her treasure, and had come to Jerusalem for to worship,
8:28 Was returning, and sitting in his chariot read Esaias the prophet.
8:29 Then the Spirit said unto Philip, Go near, and join thyself to this chariot.
8:30 And Philip ran thither to him, and heard him read the prophet Esaias, and said, Understandest thou what thou readest?
8:31 And he said, How can I, except some man should guide me? And he desired Philip that he would come up and sit with him.
8:32 The place of the scripture which he read was this, He was led as a sheep to the slaughter; and like a lamb dumb before his shearer, so opened he not his mouth:
8:33 In his humiliation his judgment was taken away: and who shall declare his generation? for his life is taken from the earth.
8:34 And the eunuch answered Philip, and said, I pray thee, of whom speaketh the prophet this? of himself, or of some other man?
8:35 Then Philip opened his mouth, and began at the same scripture, and preached unto him Jesus.
8:36 And as they went on their way, they came unto a certain water: and the eunuch said, See, here is water; what doth hinder me to be baptized?
8:37 And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.
8:38 And he commanded the chariot to stand still: and they went down both into the water, both Philip and the eunuch; and he baptized him.
8:39 And when they were come up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught away Philip, that the eunuch saw him no more: and he went on his way rejoicing.
8:40 But Philip was found at Azotus: and passing through he preached in all the cities, till he came to Caesarea.
In verse 25 Philip is in Jerusalem. In the following verse he is told to go down to Gaza which he does. In verse 39 Philip disappears into thin air and we have the evidence of a Eunuch to support that. In Verse 40 Philip materialises in Azotus - Ashdod, which is 23 miles - 38 kilometres from Gaza.
