I wrote the following quote under another subject. Now my question is “Why was it Necessary for Jesus to be baptized”?
To fulfill all righteousness.Matthew 313 Then cometh Jesus from Galilee to Jordan unto John, to be baptized of him.14 But John forbad him, saying, I have need to be baptized of thee, and comest thou to me?15 And Jesus answering said unto him, Suffer it to be so now: for thus it becometh us to fulfil all righteousness. Then he suffered him.

Jesus (the Messiah) had to be both High Priest and King. The lineage from Joseph gave the king lineage and fulfilled the promise given to David by God (the Davidic covenant) and Mary gave Him the priesthood role (after the order of Melchizedek).God bless.
