Narrative:

This incident occurred while taxiing on the ground at teb airport. We landed on runway 19 and cleared on taxiway K. Ground control instructed us to taxi down taxiway left and hold short of runway 24. I stopped the aircraft well short of runway 24. Ground control then cleared us to cross runway 24. Before moving the aircraft the first officer and myself looked right to clear the runway and saw no other aircraft. I then began taxiing and just before crossing the runway I took another look to the right and saw the landing lights of an aircraft that was departing and closing rapidly. I applied maximum braking and stopped on the edge of the runway as the departing aircraft went by us. Upon reaching the FBO, I called the tower and was told that the local controller did not know that the ground controller had cleared us to cross the runway.
