Sorry for my disbelief Father, but I don't see God teleporting people, not even on Scriptures.
How about?

Daniel 14:33-36
John 6:19-21

Not exactly teleporting but close enough, don't you think?

We also have examples from the lives of the Saints, St. Mary of Egypt comes to mind.

He does in the OT, with Habakkuk going to minister to Daniel. plus, Christ does it all the time.
And Philip after he baptised the Ethiopian.
