Jesus was baptised with the Holy Spirit because god new that He would need all the help he could get to withstand the temptations that satan put before Him in the wilderness.We too need theb help of the Holy Spirit to withstand the pressures of satan in our every day lives and god wanted us to know that we are not alone .Jesus also depended n the holy Spirit for His strength at the time of great testing.He wanted us to know this in our hearts so He demonstrated this through His only son.

Jesus was a holy man without sin. So he gave his life for us to live and he also forgives us of our sins if only we ask in Jesus name.

Jesus was baptized, because he was a human being. In order to be seen as the Son of God, Jesus had to be baptized, so that any sins He may commit would be forgiven. Baptism also allows us, and Jesus, to receive the Holy Spirit.

To be example for us , b/c Jesus is not a sinner ;when we study bible , jesus faced a lot of problems except sin. He is son of God , no one can ask him sin about sin.

I think that just as we are baptised to cleanse us from sin and mark our entry into Christianity, so also Jesus chose to be baptized to mark the start of his ministry.

to prepare for the baptism of the Holy Spirit. you can not be baptised in the Holy Spirit if you have never been baptised with water.it like us we can not go to the Father exept through the Son ''Jesus'' because he is the way the truth the life and the door.

John the Baptist Prepares the Way

The beginning of the Good News of Jesus Christ, the Son of God. As it is written in the prophets,
"Behold, I send my messenger before your face,
who will prepare your way before you.
The voice of one crying in the wilderness,
'Make ready the way of the Lord!
Make his paths straight!'"
John came baptizing in the wilderness and preaching the baptism of repentance for forgiveness of sins. All the country of Judea and all those of Jerusalem went out to him. They were baptized by him in the Jordan river, confessing their sins. John was clothed with camel's hair and a leather belt around his waist. He ate locusts and wild honey. He preached, saying, "After me comes he who is mightier than I, the thong of whose sandals I am not worthy to stoop down and loosen. I baptized you in water, but he will baptize you in the Holy Spirit."

Mark 1:1-8
