John knows who Jesus is, that he is the son of God. He also knows that Jesus is without sin. The baptizing that John is performing is for those who are repentant of their sins. Since Jesus is without sin, he believes he shouldn't baptize him. Jesus, however, is not being asked to be baptized as a symbol of repentance for sin but rather showing that he is presenting himself to his Father to do His will. Hebrews 10:5-7 It is now time for Jesus to begin his earthly ministry that God sent him to earth to do.
The reluctance of prophet John the cousin of Jesus was birthed from the fact that John knew that Jesus was the son of God and it did not stop there he had ample knowledge that He was also the messiah of whom redemption of man is assured, plus the fact that after the ascension of Jesus, the era of the holy spirit will be dispensed. please kindly follow my channel on YouTube.

It is only in Matthew's Gospel that John is reluctant to baptise Jesus, saying to him (KJV), "I have need to be baptised of thee, and comest thou to me?"
John's Gospel provides quite the opposite account, with John welcoming Jesus and saying that he had known Jesus would be coming to be baptised (John 1:33), "And I knew him not:but that he sent me to baptise with water, the same said unto me, Upon whom you see the Spirit descending and remaining on him, the same is he which baptizeth with the Holy Spirit."
Another answer from our community:
The baptism that John performed was a baptism that symbolized repentance, and John knew that Jesus was the "Lamb of God" (John 1:29) the one who would take away the sin of the world and felt this was not the right baptism for Jesus. John said, "I need to be baptized by You, and You are coming to me? "But Jesus answered and said to him "permit it to be so now, for thus it is fitting for us to fulfill all righteousness" (Matthew 3:13-15).
I think because he wanted to be baptized first.

Because John recognized that Jesus was the Son of God.
well he did not baptise anyone because his mother said that Judas wanted him to baptise him and if Jesus baptised him he would betray God.
In Matthew 3:13-15, we are told that John the Baptist did not want to baptize Jesus, but was persuaded by Jesus to baptize Him to "fulfill all righteousness".
Because he wasn't ordained to do so. John the Baptist was "ordained by an angel".
Jesus has bigger fish to fry, and not just fishing. His mission was different.
