I was wondering if something was missing because Jesus is always quoting from the OT. And when he tells John he has to be baptized to complete all things I was wondering where in the OT it talks about the Messiah needing to be baptized. Or that anyone needs to or why Jesus was inclined to do it.

Jesus got baptized because he wanted to validate John's ministry for repentance, and not give an impression that he had no need of baptism, even though he had no need of it.
