The baptism of Jesus

Mathew 3:13 Than Jesus came from Galilee to John at the Jordan to be baptized by him.
14 And John tried to prevent Him, saying, "I need to be baptized by You, and are You coming to me?"
15 But Jesus answered and said to him,"Permit it to be so now, for thus it is fitting for us to fulfill all righteousness." Than he allowed Him.

How did Jesus being baptized by John fulfill all righteousness?
Was Jesus baptized in the name of John?

Mark 1:4 John came baptizing in the wilderness and preaching a baptism of repentance for the remission of sins.

Jesus is without sin, so why be baptized for the remission of sin? (How would that fulfill all righteousness?)
