We do not often see this in Scripture but the Baptism of Jesus is one time that we experience all three persons of the Trinity together. We have Jesus beign baptized, the Holy Spirit descends on Him in the form of a dove, and we hear the voice of God the Father. It is amazing to see this picture and I am sure that John was afraid for His life to be performing this baptism as a feeble man. He knew who this baptism was for, but he did not know what it would represent.
The baptism of Jesus was to fulfill all righteousness, meaning that Jesus was doing this as an example to his people for the sake of obedience. We also should follow that process of obedience and fulfill all righteousness in the eyes of God.
