I don't understand the original question and I am flabergasted by the
responses.

It sounds like the op is trying to print the string "{0}" to the console
along with some other values.
However he has answered his own question :
    Console.WriteLine("Hello {{0}} {0}", "John");
displays :
    Hello {0} John
which is exactly what it sounds like he is trying to do.
the second line gives an error , and it should - so don't do it that way.

string.format("text {0}","value of 0") : huh ?
this generates "text value of 0" , how is that printing "{0}" ?

Console.WriteLine ( String.Format ("Hello {0}", "John") ); huh ?
this generates "Hello John" , how is that printing "{0}" ?
also : why bother with string.Format() when Console.WriteLine() has this
formatting capability already.
