Narrative:
I was captain of air carrier XXX from mco to jfk. At about XA30; we were climbing out to FL230. At FL210; we were cleared to climb to FL270. At approximately FL230; we copied 'cleared to FL330' and were told this would be our final for a while. The first officer read back 'climb to FL330.' we were then sent to another jax sector; and checked in 'climbing through FL230 to FL330; ZJX rogered our check-in. As we climbed through approximately FL238 or so; ZJX said to stop our climb at FL240. I immediately reacted to comply and stopped the climb at approximately FL243-FL244; and returned to FL240. Shortly thereafter; ZJX gave a 'turn 20 degrees left' call. I complied. At this point; I was very concerned and questioned ZJX about our clearance. In a short while; ZJX cleared us direct to chs. I asked if everything was ok; and 'did I need to do anything?' ZJX said; no everything was fine; said 'have a good flight to jfk' and sent us to another sector. End of incident.
