Why did Jesus get baptized?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus was baptized to fulfill all righteousness and to identify with humanity's need for redemption.

Jesus' baptism is significant as it marked the fulfillment of all righteousness. Although He was sinless and did not require repentance, His baptism symbolized His commitment to complete the mission of redeeming His people from their sins. By being baptized, Jesus identified with sinful humanity, demonstrating obedience to God and setting an example for His followers. His act in the waters of baptism anticipated His future sacrifice on the cross, where He would bear the sins of the world, fulfilling God's redemptive plan for humanity.
