The [hemin] "for us" here focuses on John and Jesus, who in this event have a unique function to fulfill -- “to fulfill all righteousness,” that is, everything that forms part and parcel of a relationship of obedience to God. Thus, Jesus identifies with and endorses John’s ministry as divinely ordained and his message as needing to be heeded. Righteousness is a key concept in Matthew (7 occurrences) and is closely associated with the coming of the kingdom (5:6, 10), etc.
