Gandalf the Wizard, with 12 dwarves came and pursuaded Bilbo to come with them on a journey. They were on a mission to reclaim their gold that was in the possession of an evil Dragon named Smaug.
As Gandalf says:
'I have chosen Mr. Baggins and that ought to be enough for all of you. If I say that he is a Burglar, a Burglar he is. or will be when the time comes. There is a lot more in him than you guess, and a deal more than he has any idea about himself. You may (possibly) all live to thank me yet.'

He was brought along as the burglar and to make the number of the party 14 instead of unlucky 13. There were 13 Dwarves: Thorin, Oin, Gloin, Dwalin, Balin, Bifur, Bofur, Bombur, Fili, Kili, Dori, Nori, and Ori. Gandalf only traveled a short way with the group.

In chapter 1 of The Hobbit, Thorin says to Bilbo "Aren't you the burglar? And isn't sitting on the door-step your job, not to mention getting inside the door?"

Gandalf enlists Bilbo’s help in Thorin’s quest for the treasure under the mountain from the marauding dragon Smaug, and Bilbo is to act as their “burglar.”
