John the Baptist baptized Jews by the thousands.
"John did baptize in the wilderness, and preach the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins." (Mark 1:4)
Baptism isn't a "Christian phenomenon"... it's an outward show of faithful repentance toward the Creator for having disobeyed His laws... which is what sin is - I John 3:4.
Jesus was baptized, not because He needed it, but as an example for us to do the same.
"...Repent, and be baptized EVERY ONE OF YOU in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit." (Acts 2:38)

Jesus family were all jewish.
Jesus fulfilled Scripture when he was water baptized. But He was not baptized for His sins- He was sinless. When Jesus was baptized, He was baptized with the Holy Spirit, and with the Spirit came power. Jesus never performed any miracles before he was baptized. He had the Holy spirit, but he was not baptized with the full power of the Spirit until John baptized him.
