Jesus stated it was to fufill righteousness.When Jesus was baptised it is the frist time you Hear the Father ,speaking ,the Holy Spirit ,descending like a dove ,and Jesus in the water.

Represents all who would follow Jesus in His example to us to Receive baptism of repentance and of the Holy Spirit.It clearly shows  us that His willingness to do this pleased the Father.
