Narrative:
While taxiing to the FBO at ewr, we were cleared to taxiway P to hold short of taxiway west. Then we were cleared to cross runway 11/29. I used taxiway west to cross runway 11/29 which also crossed runway 4L/22R without a clearance. Better use of the runway diagram and better instructions by ATC could have avoided the problem. Supplemental information from acn 370989: I read back the wrong directions, but a clarification was not made. I think we should have questioned crossing runway 22R before doing it. Also, ground control should have asked us or questioned us to stop or hold our position.
