To Fulfill All Righteousness

Matthew 3:1

Jesus did not try to live outside His calling. He is greater than John. But it was John's role to baptize Him and pave the way, even according to the tradition of the Law.

Jesus submitted Himself to this baptism because it was of God, and part of His plan. Even though He is God, He came to earth as a man and followed the will of God the Father to live His calling to be exactly who God called Him to be.

Phil 2:5-11

After all, He said John was the Greatest prophet who ever lived (but less then any in the Kingdom of God)

Matthew 11:9-11
