The gospels say that John the Baptist baptised people for the remission of sins. The first-century Jewish historian Josephus actually says that he baptised for the purification of the body and not at all for the remission of sins.

∙ 12y agoMatthew 3:13-15 - Then Jesus came from Galilee to John at the Jordan to be baptized by him. And John tried to prevent Him, saying, "I need to be baptized by You, and are You coming to me?" But Jesus answered and said to him, "Permit it to be so now, for thus it is fitting for us to fulfill all righteousness." Then he allowed Him.
Many commentators over-complicate Jesus' statement to John. "Fulfill all righteousness" simply means "to accomplish all that is pleasing to God," for that's what "righteousness" is, by the definition of the word: "a condition acceptable to God."
God the Father affirmed His pleasure in Jesus' act of obedience in verse 17 - And suddenly a voice came from heaven, saying, "This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased."
