According to the account in the third chapter of Matthew's gospel, John the Baptist apparently wondered much the same thing. When Jesus came to him to be baptized, John said, "I need to be baptized by You, and are You coming to me?"
Jesus' reply was, "Permit it to be so now, for thus it is fitting for us to fulfill all righteousness."
Considering the meaning of the original Greek words, Jesus' statement can be paraphrased as, "...it is eminently proper in order to accomplish all that is pleasing and acceptable to God."
More simply put, Jesus was baptized because it was in keeping with God's will. The truth of this is confirmed by God's voice speaking from heaven, saying: "This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased."
