Matthew Poole and continuators on John 6:4

4 And the passover, a feast of the Jews, was nigh .

That is, the third Passover after our Saviour had entred upon his Publick Ministry▪ by which we may observe, that Iohn omitted many things spoken and done by our Saviour in the Year immediately following the Second Passeover (for he giveth us no further Account than what we have in the former, and in this Chapter.) The other Evangelists give us a more full account of them. The place whither our Saviour went, seemeth to have been toward the end of the Lake; so as the People could go on foot, and turn at the point of the Lake, and be there before the Ship could cross the Water.
