It seemed to John blasphemous in a certain way.

That one so great should require this ritual, or could have it performed with requisite holiness by a vagabond preacher.

What did Jesus say to put John's conscience at ease?

"It is written. If you refuse to do this, the Old Testament will be null and void. You haven't come this far in your ministry to have pause. I Am Who Am. And you have confirmation of that in your noetikos."
