Best Answer

In Jesus day baptism was a baptism of repentance signifying a turning away from a life contrary to God's ways and a turning to God.

For example the baptism offered by John the Baptist:

Mark 1:4 John came baptizing in the wilderness and preaching a baptism of repentance for the remission of sins.

What is the reason why Jesus was baptized by John?

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.
