Exegesis
The narrative focus then shifts to the instrument: spongon oun meston tou oxous {σπόγγον οὖν μεστὸν τοῦ ὄξους | spón-gon oun mes-tón tou óx-us}, where spongon is the direct object of the later main verb, described in advance by the participial phrase.
The conjunction oun {οὖν | oun} marks an inferential step from the presence of the vessel to the action of using it.
