Exegesis
The participle labon {λαβὼν | la-bōn} “having taken” functions adverbially and temporally, describing an action that precedes the main finite verb diezosen {διέζωσεν | di-é-zo-sen} “He girded.” This yields a sequence: He rises, He sets aside His garments, then, having taken a towel, He girds Himself.
