John 1:32: "And John was able to make him known pointing out that he was able to see with his eyes the Spirit come down upon him as a dove out of heaven and remain upon him."

Jesus was lacking this dimension of the Glory and Power of God until this event. Although Jesus was the only begotten Son of God who was perfectly pure and holy having no nature of sin within Himself, He had not received the Spirit without measure until He was baptized of John in the Jordan. As Jesus submitted Himself to the ministry that had gone before Him and fulfilled all righteousness, the Heavens were open and Father endued Him with power from on high. It is at this moment that God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and Power to preach the gospel to the meek, bind up the broken in heart, proclaim deliverance to the captives, recovery of sight to the blind, set at liberty those who are bruised, and proclaim the acceptable day of the Lord.
