**What happened to Peter when he told a big lie?**

Exactly what are you talking about? Chapter and Verse please.

When he said that he would never deny Christ? I don't think that was a lie. I think he fully intended not to deny Christ.

What happened when the cock crowed the second time, what did Peter do?

"He went out and wept bitterly"

What happened when the cock crowed the second time, what did Peter do?

"He went out and wept bitterly"

Matthew 26:

[69] Now Peter was sitting outside in the courtyard. And a maid came up to him, and said, "You also were with Jesus the Galilean."
[70] But he denied it before them all, saying, "I do not know what you mean."
[71] And when he went out to the porch, another maid saw him, and she said to the bystanders, "This man was with Jesus of Nazareth."
[72] And again he denied it with an oath, "I do not know the man."
[73] After a little while the bystanders came up and said to Peter, "Certainly you are also one of them, for your accent betrays you."
[74] Then he began to invoke a curse on himself and to swear, "I do not know the man." And immediately the cock crowed.
[75] And Peter remembered the saying of Jesus, "Before the cock crows, you will deny me three times." And he went out and wept bitterly.

A lie is a lie no matter his good intentions. Remember, he swore that he's never forsake Jesus.
