Contextual Overview
1 AFTER these things, Jesus went to the port of the sea of Galilee, at Tiberias. 2 And a great many people followed him, because they saw the miracles which he performed on sick people. 3 So Jesus went up to the mountain, and he sat there with his disciples. 4 And the feast of the passover of the Jews was at hand. 5 And Jesus lifted up his eyes, and saw a large crowd coming to him, and he said to Philip, Where can we buy bread that all these may eat? 6 He said this merely to test him; for he knew what he would do. 7 Philip said to him, Two hundred pennies worth of bread would not be sufficient for them, even if each one should take a little. 8 One of his disciples, Andrew the brother of Simon Peter, said to him, 9 There is a boy here, who has with him five barley loaves and two fishes; but what are these for all of them? 10 Jesus said to them, Make all the men sit down. There was much grass in that place. So the males * sat down, five thousand in number.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And the passover, a feast of the Jews, was nigh. This was the third passover, since our Lord's baptism, and entrance on his public ministry; see John 2:13. Whether Christ went up to this feast is not certain; some think he did not; but from what is said in John 7:1, it looks as if he did: how nigh it was to the feast, cannot well be said. Thirty days before the feast, they began to talk about it; and especially in the last fifteen days, they made preparations for it, as being at hand b; and if there was now so long time to it, there was time enough for Jesus to go to it.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible
The passover - See the notes at Matthew 26:2, Matthew 26:17.
A feast of the Jews - This is one of the circumstances of explanation thrown in by John which show that he wrote for those who were unacquainted with Jewish customs.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse John 6:4. And the passover - was nigh. — This happened about ten or twelve days before the third passover which Christ celebrated after his baptism. Calmet. For a particular account of our Lord's four passovers John 2:13.
For thirty days before the Passover there were great preparations made by the Jews, but especially in the last nineteen days, in order to celebrate the feast with due solemnity. Lightfoot supposes that what is here related happened within the last fifteen days. See Calmet's opinion above.
