How do we know Christ needed to be baptized?

Answered in 1 source

Christ’s baptism was necessary to fulfill all righteousness as ordained by God and to set an example for believers.

Despite John's initial hesitation, stating that he needed to be baptized by Jesus, the Lord insisted on His baptism to fulfill all righteousness. This was part of the divine plan established by God, highlighting the importance of obedience and the confirmation of John’s ministry. By being baptized, Jesus fulfilled the ceremonial aspects of the law that pointed to the need for a cleansing Savior. His act also prefigured His mission to bear the sins of the world, providing a model for believers to follow in obedience and faith.
