The four gospels all indicate that Jesus' baptism was the beginning of his public ministry.
The gospels depict Jesus' baptism as part of God's plan for his life. This comes out very well in the Gospel of Luke, where the conception, and the birth of John the Baptism were surrounded by prodigious signs.
John the Baptist is described as being the forerunner of Jesus.
Therefore, it is not difficult to understand that Jesus' ministry would begin with his baptism by John, which was an endorsement of John's ministry, as well as being a symbol of the beginning of his own.
